Hello.
Any other X Crotch Rocket riders here?
Over the years, I've done a lot of bashing. A lot of trash talk. And a lot avoiding the inevitable.....That I was getting old and sore and slow.
I just bought my very first Harley. A 2012 Switchback Dyna with 5k on it. I'm surprising myself every day by how much I like riding it. How practical it is to actually have comfort and storage, etc.
There must be many others also giving up the WAY TOO DAMN FAST lifestyle.
As for me...I'm beginning to understand.
Here's a photo of the Swirchback and the Kawasaki ZX14r that I'm selling
This is a case of not knowing what I was missing this whole time.
I'm 54!
I also cant believe how small the big Kawi is by comparison.
I'm 6'1" 277lbs.

Its OK we won't judge you, too much! I've had many Kawasakis in my life and they really are awesome motorcycles. You have entered a new world that feels similar yet different.
Enjoy the ride.
Cheers!
